jd> "Even" is typo-speak for event.
OK. I see that the BEL character replaces a
single character in the stream. For example,
"Delete" might appear as "De.ete" where the "."
represents BEL. If the BEL character occurs
when the input buffer in the modem is overrun,
why do I never observe a sequence of characters
missing from the stream and replaced by one or
more BELs?
jd> The SET FLOW command tells Kermit how to treat
its end of the connection, but it does nothing
for the modem. One must issue the appropriate
AT comand to the modem, please see its manual.

ja> MS-DOS Kermit ... cannot automatically set
the modem to use RTS/CTS flow control. You need
to do that as part of your dialing script.
The modem is an external, Practical Peripherals
MC144MT II. The script invoked is PPI.SCR
containing these lines between others.
echo Enabling hardware flow control...
output AT &K3\13 ; Enable RTS/CTS hardware flow control
chkok {Can't enable RTS/CTS} ; On modem
wait 5 cts
if fail errfail {Modem is not asserting CTS!}
set flow rts/cts ; And in Kermit too, but only now
The "echo Enabling hardware flow control..."
works; "Enabling hardware flow control..." is
screened as PPI.SCR is executed.
Here is one suspicious point. In the last line
from the script above, why the comment "... but
only now"? Apparently there is significance to
setting the flow control in Kermit after it has
been set in the modem. If this is really
necessary I can see the problem. "set flow
rts/cts" is executed in MSCUSTOM.INI before
"output AT &K3\13" is executed in PPI.SCR.
Thanks for your assistance,
